Nottingham Forest will welcome Wolves to the City Ground in the EFL Cup quarterfinal on Wednesday (January 11).

Wolves, meanwhile, qualified at Gillingham's expense with a routine 2-0 home win. Late goals from Raul Jimenez and Rayan Ait Nouri helped the West Midlands outfit secure progress to the next round.
They're coming off an exciting 2-2 draw at Liverpool in the FA Cup. Both sides traded leads before Toti saw a late winner for Wolves controversially ruled out for offside by VAR.
Forest, meanwhile, suffered a 4-1 defeat against Blackpool in the FA Cup. Ina Poveda and Ryan Yates scored and provided an assist apiece to help the Championship side qualify for the fourth round.
